CMS

Have a reliable CCSF Web presence for your department, project, or
school on the main CCSF website!

The CMS (Content Management System) is great for posting mission
statements, degree and certificate information, course SLOs, rubrics,
assessment data, contact information, and other important details
about services, programs, department or other units at the college.

Trainings are reserved for those designated to create and update
school, department, program and project sites. Individual faculty
members should use CCSF Google Sites to create an instructional
page.

Request an Account

Do I need an account? My supervisor/co-worker/department head
already has one.

Everyone who works on the new site must have a personal account.
Logins are now attached to a person, not to a site and logins should
not be shared.

What is the process for getting an account so that I can work on
the site?

If you want more training or support, drop into the TLC lab.
Lab Aides can often help.

Remember: so far these are
for department/project/school representatives only—not for
individual Faculty or Staff. A Google site built with a CCSfmail
account are recommended for individual faculty/staff.

More
information from the IT department about the CMS is available here.

Use an up-to-date version of the Chrome Browser when
editing your pages. Firefox is no longer the preferred
browser, and Internet Explorer and Safari often do not work when
editing the CMS. **All browsers can viewthe site: these
messages are just for folks editing pages.

For technical
glitches (broken pages, components that are not working as you know
they should, etc.) and emergency help, contact the Helpdesk.

For training
to use the features of the CMS or consultation about how to improve
the webpages you manage, contact Alex Hosmer or simply sign-up for a refresher
orientation.
